The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Liang Liangwei walked towards Gu Yan and stopped under his gaze.

"Teacher Gu."

"Miss Liang."

Liang Liangwei gestured to the drinks in her hand: "I bought drinks for everyone, including coffee and milk tea. What would you like to drink?"

Gu Yan glanced at the bag in her hand and said, "Coffee, please."

Liang Liangwei took out a special one from the bag and handed it to him, smiling, "I guessed that Teacher Gu would also choose coffee. I even asked around and found out that you like green tea, so I ordered you a green tea latte."

Gu Yan took it, his dark eyes flashing: "You specifically inquired about this?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yes, I asked the other actors. You often order this kind of flavor, so they all know about it."

A warm feeling flashed in Gu Yan's eyes, but before he could say anything more, Liang Liangwei said again, "Thank you, Teacher Gu, for the fruit you had sent at noon. It was very sweet and delicious. As a return gift, I ordered some matcha-flavored pastries for you. I hope you will like them too."

Gu Yan's smile faltered for a moment: "A return gift?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yes, it's about reciprocity."

Looking at the other drink bags in her hand and Lan Yin distributing drinks, Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit conflicted.

Could it be that she bought drinks for the entire crew just to return the favor because of that fruit?

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and losing more than you gain?

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the coffee.

Liang Liangwei waited a while, but when she didn't see him reach out to take the pastries, she asked, "Teacher Gu, don't you like them?"

Gu Yan snapped out of his daze, lowered his brows, and quickly reached out to take it: "No, I was just a little surprised. It's just some fruit, Miss Liang, you don't need to make such a fuss."

Liang Liangwei: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I'm leaving tomorrow anyway, so I can take this opportunity to order some drinks for everyone. Thank you to the crew for taking care of me these past two days."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "You're too kind."

Liang Liangwei: "Of course."

After quickly distributing the items, Liang Liangwei said goodbye to him.

Gu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Will we still be able to keep in touch after we get back to Huacheng?"

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow and joked, "Teacher Gu must be very busy, right? I heard you're getting so many acting roles and commercials that you're practically working 48 hours a day."

Gu Yan was both amused and exasperated: "That's all exaggerated online. I'm not so incapable of squeezing out any personal time. I can still meet up with friends and have a meal."

Liang Liangwei: "Then... if Teacher Gu has time, could you invite Gu Cheng along?"

He is, after all, a movie star, so it's not feasible to refuse outright. Bringing Gu Cheng along would solve the problem.

Gu Yan readily agreed: "Okay."

Back at the hotel, Liang Liangwei finally relaxed.

After taking a shower and changing my clothes, I took my tablet and sat down on the sofa in the living room, eating the fruit provided by the hotel while scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

Lan Yin asked her what she wanted to eat for dinner, and she replied that she had milk tea and snacks in the afternoon, and her stomach was still full, so she didn't want to eat anything for the time being.

A short while later, Yan Zhixu sent a video call request.

She immediately perked up, sitting up straight, tidying her hair and clothes, and agreed to the video call request.

A man's figure appeared on the screen. The light was slightly dim, but his handsome, jade-like face was very eye-catching.

"Where are you?" You don't seem to be in the room? Are you outside?

Yan Zhixu looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "In the car, on my way to the banquet."

Liang Liangwei: "You arrive in the afternoon and go to a banquet in the evening. Don't you need to rest?"

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, the schedule is tight. I'll go back to the hotel to rest tonight."

Liang Liangwei: "Knowing the schedule was tight, you still insisted on coming? How willful!"

Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "You went back to your room?"

Liang Liangwei forked a piece of cantaloupe, took a bite, and said, "Yeah, you've just started to get busy, but I've already finished. I'll rest for one night and go back to Huacheng tomorrow. Hey, aren't you envious?"

Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "Mm."

Liang Liangwei: "It's so dark over there, could you turn on your headlights?"

Yan Zhixu cooperated by turning on the headlights, instantly brightening the screen. She saw the man dressed in an elegant shirt and suit, clearly on his way to a banquet.

"I've heard that the girls in the port city are beautiful, fashionable, and very charming..."

Yan Zhixu: "There should only be men at the banquet tonight, no women."

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow: "Should?"

Yan Zhixu immediately changed his tune: "There are only men at the banquet tonight, no women."

Liang Liangwei smiled, pursing her lips: "Are you sure? They've already told you all the arrangements."

Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "I'll take a picture of you when I get there."

Liang Liangwei pouted: "No need, it would make me seem petty."

Yan Zhixu: "It was my initiative to inform my girlfriend."

Liang Liangwei smiled sweetly inside, but didn't show it on her face. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Okay, since you're the one who's going to take the initiative, then don't forget. Of course, I won't wait for you to send it."

Yan Zhixu couldn't help but chuckle.

Xu Chaofeng, sitting in the passenger seat, said softly, "President Yan, we've arrived."

Yan Zhixu looked up and glanced at him.

Liang Liangwei heard this too and quickly said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Yan Zhixu said slowly, "Okay, I'll contact you later."

Liang Liangwei hummed in agreement twice, waved to him, and turned off the video call.

Yan Zhixu and Xu Chaofeng entered the private room arranged by the Hong Kong business partners. After looking around, they paused for a moment when they saw two fashionable young women with heavy makeup inside.

Xu Chaofeng also stole a glance at his boss. He had overheard the conversation between his boss and his girlfriend in the car earlier, and now he felt a little amused.

I wonder how President Yan will send photos to Miss Liang to explain things later.

That person said they wouldn't wait, but girls often say the opposite of what they mean, so don't take it seriously. They'll definitely be counting down the seconds and waiting.

I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for President Yan.

Yan Zhixu quickly suppressed her initial surprise, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with her partners, and then sat down in an empty seat.

The business partner, a native of Hong Kong in his forties, chuckled in broken Mandarin, "Mr. Yan, you rarely come to Hong Kong, do you?"

Yan Zhixu: "I rarely come. I came a few times a few years ago, but in recent years I have mostly stayed abroad and haven't come much."

Partner: "Then let's take this opportunity to stay a few more days and have a good time in the port city."

Yan Zhixu said calmly, "This trip back to China is very busy. I will be flying abroad in a few days. I have already booked my flight back to Huacheng the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't have time to stay in Hong Kong for long."

The business partner laughed: "President Yan is such a busy person. It's admirable that she works so hard at such a young age, but it means she's missing out on a lot of fun in life. She should enjoy life while she can."

Yan Zhixu smiled slightly but did not reply.

He does enjoy life to the fullest, but his pleasure comes from the women he cares about, which is different from what others say.
